they will simply be bored and uninterested.
In contrast
, some others may claim that the only purpose of
museums
is to educate human beings.
Museums
reveal to us past events or help us understand other world cultures. We have to respect history and other nations, so depicting these things through an entertainment view would not be mature. Having considered both views, I think
museums
need to have balance. I mean it should be enjoyable, entertaining and educational at the same time.
